Founded in 1680 by Jean-Baptiste Braneyre, Château Branaire-Ducru is a Fourth Growth wine producer situated in the Saint-Julien appellation. The estate is currently led by François-Xavier Maroteaux, son of the late Patrick Maroteaux, who acquired the property in 1988. Scoring an impressive 92 Points, Robert Parker writes of the 1982 vintage. "A strong effort for this estate, the 1982 exhibits sweet aromas of plums, licorice, earth, and flowers. The tannins are slightly rustic, but the sweetness of the fruit, the broad expansive mouthfeel, and the wine’s full maturity represent a classic Bordeaux at the top of its game.”
